I found the reason and to say I'm NOT happy with Microcrap is an
understatement.
My bullets were not appearing if the Height property is set to any value.
Not a single word in MSDN or via Google that mentions this little "problem"
which I'm sure M$ believe it is "by design".
Let me send M$ my bill for wasting my time and my clients time on this
pathetic attempt of improvement.
And NO, this is just one little problem in a constrant stream of many that
has set me over the edge. I'm just OVER their crap and the .NET design team
and their developers that produce this gargbage of tool called VS 2005 and
the still missing functionality of .NET 2.0 framework. What a crock-o-shit
from a company that has resources beyond imagination -- Mr. Gates you need
to get re-involved with your "lost" company, because I'd be ashamed to
release something a crappy as VS 2005.
Sorry, I've just had it. I've been beaten to death since Nov last year
dealing with .NET migration (even from .NET 1.1 apps it was a chore):
..NET 2.0 can't do that yet
slowest IDE on the planet
many hotfixes that require phone calls
still gotta use JavaScript
no true migration path
Master pages -- warped implementation (wait a minute I can do this already
and do it with less)
clickonce, roll the dice 50/50 it might work if the sun, moon, stars, and
security is aligned just right
web services are painfully slow unless you do minor tasks
is interpreted
it wrappers around wrappers around wrappers, no wonder it is slow
..NET has too many layers, too much broken crap, too slow, and to limiting --
back to C++ and drop this bogus BS of dev tool.
